Being a tacky rubber, it grips the ball well.
It has decent speed too. However, the rubber weighs 65g, which is 15g heavier than a tension rubber's roughly 50g.
If you can swing all the way through it's not an issue, but I ended up hurting my shoulder. It only comes in max thickness, so I wish they also offered thick and medium.
I couldn't use it to its full potential.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I used it on the backhand — after bouncing on the opponent's side, the ball's extension shot up dramatically.
The chiquita is easy to pull off, and the ball speed increased too, at the same time.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I switched from Triple Double Extra, which I'd been using since it came out.
A strong tacky rubber is great if you can practice every day... but with limited practice time, I couldn't get enough speed out of a strong tacky rubber, so I tried this one instead.
It kept the same spin as the strong tacky rubber while boosting the speed by a whole different level. It's a hard rubber, but not rock-hard — the sheet is soft, so I could switch over from a strong tacky rubber without any issues. If you're used to tacky rubbers, I don't think you'll have any problems.
The sheet itself doesn't feel very tacky, but the short game and counters play exactly like a tacky rubber. I'd say this might be the pinnacle of tacky tension rubbers.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Black, max thickness.
77g → 55g
Measured from the sheet side with a Shore C hardness tester: 46.5°
D09C: 50g, 50.8°
Hurricane Pro: 43g, 42.4
1. Really easy to handle!!
2. The sponge is hard, making counter-drives easy!!
3. When you really sink the ball in, you can hit the kind of heavy drive typical of tacky rubbers!
Despite being labeled "extra hard," the sponge clearly has air bubbles in it — it's like a tension-type sponge made hard in the style of a tacky rubber. The sheet has some tackiness too, but the pimple shape is a structure that tips over more easily than you'd expect for a tacky rubber, and it grabs the ball far better than I imagined, making it easy to get speed and easy to handle overall. Given how well it grabs the ball, I worried it might lack that typical tacky feel, but when you drive through it firmly, aiming to really smash into the ball, it does turn into a pretty heavy, tacky-style drive. It's easy to use, and as long as you have the power, I think it's a rubber with plenty of that tacky character and flavor.
I've also reviewed it on my blog, so please check that out for reference.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Both the sheet and the sponge are hard. You feel that directly, but as long as you get enough impact, the spin is insane and the speed is really high too.

With its solid bounce and the grip from its slight tackiness, it's easy to use for everything from the short game to mid-distance play, and both backhand and forehand drives come with plenty of power — but the sheer weight is really the sticking point. For players who like using a heavy racket, the price is also easy to afford, so I don't think you'd regret buying it.

I've been using this on the forehand of my Atletico Power Pro (inner-carbon) and my Zhang Jike SZLC (outer-carbon).
Even during forehand knock-up, the trajectory was quite high — especially when mounted on the inner-carbon blade, it was high enough to cause overshoots.
Topspin drives get a lot of spin and produce heavy balls. The inner-carbon in particular needs more power, but when you really smash it, the shot has tremendous power.
Against backspin too, whether it's a hard smash or a loop drive, the amount of spin is incredible — in matches it was enough to win points on its own.
Mounted on the outer-carbon, the speed picked up too, and the power felt even greater. Even on light shots it flew straighter compared to the inner-carbon, and there were no more cases of it going too high and overshooting.
Honestly there's almost no "auto" feel to it, but if you can generate the power yourself, it was an outstanding rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
